Buying a car or truck in Texas? Here's what you need to know

Check out the Buyers Guide. Auto dealers are required by law to post a Buyers Guide on every used car they sell. This Guide must tell you if the vehicle you want to buy is under warranty or being sold “as-is.” It also tells you the percentage of repair costs the car dealer will pay on the vehicle under warranty.

When you buy a vehicle “as-is”, it means there is no warranty on the car or truck. So, if your “as-is” car or truck breaks down, the repairs are your responsibility, not the dealer’s. If it is being sold “as-is” and the dealer promises to repair the vehicle or cancel the sale if you are not satisfied, the promise should be written in the Buyers Guide.

The Buyers Guide suggests you get dealer promises in writing, and keep the guide after the vehicle sale for future
reference. The Buyers Guide should also list the car’s major mechanical and electrical systems and include some major
problems to beware of, and it will tell you to request that a mechanic inspect the vehicle before you buy it. If the auto dealer conducts used car sales in Spanish, a Spanish version of the Buyers Guide may be used.

Also, your car dealer’s name and address is listed on the back of the Buyers Guide, along with the name and
telephone number of the person you should contact at the dealership if you have problems or complaints after the sale
of the car or truck  Next, see  Texas Car Title Transfer & Registration Information
